Neutrino Physics in TeV Scale Gravity Theories

Abstract

In this paper, the general features of the neutrino sector in TeV scale quantum gravity theories, such as ADD and Many Species Theory, is investigated. This class of theories has an inherent way to generate small neutrino masses. After reviewing this mechanism it is generalized to a realistic three-flavour case. Furthermore, a procedure is presented how to diagonalize a mass matrix which is generated by this class of theories and how one can find the Standard Model flavour eigenstates. The developed general approach is applied to two specific scenarios within ADD and Many Species Theory and possible effects on neutrino oscillations and on unitarity of the lepton mixing matrix are calculated. Finally, a short overview of phenomenology which can be potentially testable by the nowadays neutrino experiments is presented.
